Launch a Configuration Workspace View

Configuration workspaces require that the user be assigned to the Administrative role.

Note If you copy/paste this URL, remove the spaces that were added for line-ending purposes in the documentation.

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showView&view= <x>

Note If the NNMi Web server uses the https protocol, use https instead of http.

<serverName> = the fully-qualified domain name of the NNMi management server (values allowed here are determined by the Enable URL Redirect setting in User Interface Configuration, see Configure the NNMi User Interface)

<portNumber> = the NNMi HTTP port number

For a quick-reference list of all URL choices for launching NNMi, see Help → Documentation Library → Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs. The Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs page also contains a link to a list of sample URLs that you can copy/paste as a starting point.

Note: If you are using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, Closedclick here for more information.

Due to the Mozilla Firefox security implementation, launching an NNMi view with a URL has the following limitations:

  • The Close button does not work.
  • The File → Close menu item does not work.

Use the browser buttons to close the view.

Configuration Workspace Views
View Name x = View ID
Node Groups nodeGroupsTableView
Interface Groups interfaceGroupsTableView

 The following are optional parameters:

Attributes for Launched Views
Attribute Values
menus

true = Show the view's button bar. If not specified, the default is true.

false = Hide the view's button bar to save space in the view.
newWindow

true = Display the view in a new browser window. This new window does not display the browser-specific menu bars. The browser-specific menu bars are hidden to provide the maximum amount of room for the requested view.

false = Display the view within the current browser window (if not specified, the default is false).
readonly

true = Prevents the user from doing either of the following:

  • Open any forms from the view
  • Manipulate any objects in the view (for example, delete an object)

false = Enables the user to do either of the following:

  • Open any forms from the view
  • Manipulate any objects in the view (for example, delete an object)
envattrs

Use Environment Attributes (envattrs) to pass <name=value> pairs from an external application to NNMi. Environment Attributes are session-specific and stored in memory (not in the NNMi database). The name-value pairs can be any arbitrary string (as required by the external program).

For example, let’s assume that NNMi was launched from an application that wants to preserve a session ID (123) and object attribute (node25) as follows:

http://<yourServerName/nnm?cmd= showView&objtype= Node&envattrs= com.my.sessionId= 123;com.my.objectName= node25

Note See Pass Environment Attributes for information about how to retrieve these Environment Attributes (envattrs) <name=value> pairs from NNMi, and pass them back to the originating external application.
